If you ignore the fact that people at GitHub can delete whatever they want.
The difference is that they probably wont tamper with someones data but they can. On a distributed ledger however "they" are many different humans who don't know each other and have only one common interest and that is that no one tampers with the data. And even if a majority would collude and tamper it would be impossible to hide that from the others.
Well, considering the business is transporting sports cars, what's the threat model here? Someone wants to take the car on a 15min joyride and will bribe a Github employee to be able to do that?
And you think the actual implementation of the blockchain will be more secure and tamper pro of?
I didn't meant to say that this is a legit reason to use a DL instead of Github/a database. I just wanted to point out the difference. It may or may not matter in this case because the thread is very limited.
There are still very valid reasons to use a DL for example the XRPL had a uptime of 100% in the last year. GitHub certainly does not have that. Also using a public DL means zero maintenance. Again I use the XRPL as example it runs stable and public since over 8 years.
To use it you need nothing but an address of a node or better a few for backup because a single nodes obviously can have downtime.
No server, no domain register, no cloud computing provider, no backup plans, nothing. The only thing you pay is the Tx "fee" which is only there to prevent spam Tx. Its like 0.00001 XRP so thousands of transactions will cost you cents at most.
>And you think the actual implementation of the blockchain will be more secure and tamper pro of?
Yes, absolutely. Again XRPL as example because I know it best. There has never been a single byte tampered with in the last 8 years and its several TB of Tx data by now.
